AI Generated Solution

To find the critical angle when a ray of light passes from glass to air, we can use Snell's Law, which relates the angles of incidence and refraction to the refractive indices of the two media. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the velocities of light in both media:** - Velocity of light in glass, \( v_g = 2 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \) - Velocity of light in air, \( v_a = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \) ...
